On May 24, law enforcement agents failed the citizens of Uvalde, Texas.
That much is unquestionable.
On that day, a school shooter at Robb Elementary School opened fire in a classroom, killing 21 people, the majority of them were children.
Sunday’s report offers us a greater understanding of the scope of this disaster.
According to the U.K. Daily Mail, instead of sending hundreds of cops into classrooms 111 and 112, Robb Elementary School Police Chief Peter Arredondo negotiated with the shooter, pleading with him to surrender.
CNN published exclusive body camera footage of the police reaction.

The video shows Arrondado on the phone pleading with the gunman to stop.
“Let me know if there’s any kids in there or anything,” Arredondo said, according to the Daily Mail. “This could be peaceful.”
The shooter failed to react, but Arredondo continued to attempt communication.
“Can you tell me your name, anything that can help, please?” the police chief said, yet again to no answer.
In the CNN video, Arredondo is heard pleading with the gunman to down his firearms.
Even after knowing that there may have been children in the room, the cops did not intervene.

Despite this, they can be seen holding their positions and standing around.
According to CNN, it took another six minutes for officers to breach the room.
This all begs the question — who in their right mind would call an active school shooter, begging him to stop, while dozens of guns poised and ready to take him out were available? CONTINUE READING…
